Andre the Giant is the savior of this world and all others,
He appears to me in visions and tells me to do great deeds,
He holds us in the palm of his hand like a beer can,
His life is an inspiration to all,
Join with me in worship of his holiness André Roussimoff

Even if their Darth Vader costume consists of a black garbage bag. This article is pretty funny.

Drunk Darth Vader’s Jedi assault

Arwel Wynne Hughes, 27, from Holyhead, Anglesey, admitted assaulting Barney Jones and cousin Michael with a metal crutch. They suffered minor injuries.

Hughes, who was drunk and dressed in a black bin bag, shouted “Darth Vader!”

I’m not sure how wearing a trash bag qualifies as ‘impersonating’ Darth Vader. I honestly could quote the entire article. Its all good.

So it should come as no surprise that Americans would be exceptional in another way: religiously. Of course we are talking about that peculiar brand of American Christianity that stands somewhere between puritanism, market fundamentalism, and a rock and roll show. That said, there isn’t much that comes out of the American Christian community that should really raise eyebrows anymore.

Which is why it is without any sense of irony that Christians in the U.S. have begun to pray for celebrities. I suppose the idea is the by praying for Hollywood’s conversion they’ll set the proper example for the rest of the fallen hordes and get the table set for the big-man’s big return. It seems to beg the question of just how far apart praying for celebrities and praying to celebrities really is. I also found this helpful website on how to balance one’s Hollywood lifestyle with a set of Christian values and ethics.

This story came to my attention while watching an un-named cable news network and one of the members of the Pray for Hollywood Commando Squad said something like “We’re praying for celebrities because they are rich and need God’s help.” God Bless America indeed.

Oh, and for shits and giggles, here’s a neato website that collects and posts images of funny church billboards.
